Robert is now homeless and staying in a warming shelter, Patricia said, adding that he struggles with medical issues. She started the GoFundMe on Thursday, hoping to raise funds and get him back on his feet.
“He will need money for a place to rent, for clothes, furniture, household items, and personal items (medications, etc.),” she said. “As he has no place to stay, he is not able to receive donations of clothing or household items at least until he has a place to live.”
At the time of writing, the fundraiser has raised $17,075 of its $15,000 goal. Patricia Maxwell adds that Robert has found temporary space in a shelter and that they’ve received an offer for a short-term place to stay as well as household items.
